Introduction to the HARTBLEI 1008 / 1006 cameras
The HARTBLEI 1006 / 1008 is a single-lens reflex camera, which, in its basic form, consists of the 1006 or 1008 camera body, a 80mm / f=2.8 multicoated lens, HARTBLEI FM12 (6x6cm) or FM16 (6x4.5cm) interchangeable film magazines, removable waist level finder and PV45 TTL-metered prism viewfinder.
The horizontal metal or cloth focal-plane shutter provides speeds from 1/2 to 1/1000 sec. and manual B. Flash synchronization is at 1/30 sec. and below.
The shutter cocking mechanism is interlocked with the film transport mechanism thus preventing unintentional double film exposure.
The twist-and-lock design of the HARTBLEI 1006 camera bayonet allows using interchangeable lenses of Pentacon Six or Exakta 66 cameras.
The HARTBLEI 1008 camera has a screw bayonet mount.
The HARTBLEI 1008 / 1006 camera body accepts Hasselblad film magazines and finders. The HARTBLEI FM12 and FM16 film magazines fit Hasselblad camera body.
Two models of the camera are made: Kiev 1008 / 1006 and Kiev 1008 / 1006 Master.
The Master model has a pre-release mode.
The HARTBLEI 1008 / 1006 Master camera allows you to lock-up the mirror before releasing the shutter by pressing the mirror release lever.
The sharp focusing is done by the microraster or rangefinder arranged in the center of the field of view and by the ground glass screen.
With the use of interchangeable film magazines, the 6x6cm format allows to take 12 frames and the 6x4.5cm format, 16 frames on 120 roll film.
The interchangeable magazines make possible a quick change in the process of photographing from a black-and-white to a color film or to a more or less sensitive film. The film magazine may be removed from the camera irrespective of the number of the frames taken.
The camera housing is plated with chrome and is covered with black vinyl.
Upon customer's request the camera housing can have a black or some other coating (as ordered) and can be finished with leather or leatherette of any color (as ordered).
The complete set of the camera is made up at the customer's option.
The camera body, lenses, film magazines, viewfinders and others accessories are listed separately.
